Since 1998, Anna-Linda Gabriel has engaged herself in the art of glassmaking, and advanced and refined her own work methods and techniques according to what she seeks to execute both in glass studios and the academic world.

Anna-Linda who has family and ancestral roots in Norway, The Philippines and Italy, has done research on her rich, historic identity. Thus, it becomes natural to explore culture, heritage and history where she is situated today, in Småland. This is imbedded within her artistic language. Her aim is to find a common ground regardless of origin, legacy and culture. Centered around the very beginning of a human's life as an embryo, Anna-Linda sees the fetus as a carrier of potential and a unique state of the origin of a human being.  

Besides exhibitions Anna -Linda shares her time between her studio at The Glass Factory, pedagogic projects and work with installations and agriculture in the forests of The Glass Kingdom.
